BARRON KNIGHTS / NIGHT GALLERY / TEACH THE WORLD TO LAUGH / CD

日本ではあまり知られていませんが英国では60年代から活躍する息の長いコミックバンド、バロン・ナイツの78年と79年作の2枚組が登場♪本作でも彼等の得意とする陽気な替え歌メドレーとなっており、ヒートウエイブの『Boogie Nights』かと思いきやトミー スティール の『Little White Bull』などオールディーズナンバーも愉快にアレンジ!!最高にゴキゲンなコミカルな替え歌がたっぷり詰まったお茶目な作品です。ディランの『Mr. Tambourine Man』も聴く価値あり!!

The Barron Knights are a British humorous pop group, originally formed in 1959, they became the Barron Knights on 5th October 1960. Although the Barron Knights undoubtedly had their own style and produced regular beat group recordings in their own right, it was their production of comedy parodies that brought them the greatest success. In fact, their catalogue of recordings - although impressive - does not reflect their success as stage entertainers.

By adapting their act to each new wave of emerging performers they were able to survive longer than their more conventional contemporaries, and even today can still be regularly found in cabaret or performing a seaside summer season.

These two albums are released on CD for the first time ever. Founder member Peter Langford has been interviewed by Mojo sDaryl Easlea for the extensive notes, on a release that promises to bring back the fun into music!
